Uncanny Valley by Nocto
After kicking off Bella Ursa’s season 2 with our Nebula Aranea series, we’re delighted to present the first album of yet another talented individual from our hometown of Strasbourg: Nocto.
Nocto has been on a very intimate journey for years and seems to have evolved in a galaxy of his own. Drifting away from planet Burial to all kinds of pop-infused nebulas, his music radiates a strong cosmic energy to which the Bella Ursa’s mothership felt spontaneously attracted.
Like a skilled woodworker, Nocto meticulously crafts his music using percussive sounds and soundscapes directly borrowed from Mother Nature. In his imaginary world, She has recently regained Her sovereignty over a civilisation blindly guided by technology and over-information. Spectres can still be heard roaming in between concrete walls and the ever -present vegetation…
Is it a dystopia or utopia? We’ll let you decide by going on a trek amongst these 12 tracks of ritualistic patterns guided by the sound of bass music!
